Summary:

Fusion imaging tomography (FIT, also called "functional anatomic mapping") describes an imaging study that combines radiology (form) and nuclear medicine (function). This is the first book on the subject and includes information on lesion detection, diagnosis, staging, and treatment. The book features experienced contributors from multiple international imaging centers, and four-color images throughout.
